See more like this DeLORME Earthmate USB GPS Model 9538 v1.0 Voice Command and Response.

Tried the Earthmate GPS (the little yellow puck) using both serial and USB. I see it is listed on the gpsdrive working device list for serial only. USB works but the cypress_m8 kernel module is required. USB is implemented as a HID device, not a serial device.

The kernel module creates a USB character device that looks like a serial device. It is created dynamically and the device name is not always predictable.

That makes it impossible to use a simple script to connect to the device using gpsd and makes it completely impossible to set-and-forget it in GPSDrive prefs--it has to be set every time it is plugged in. I have several usb serial devices attached and sometimes they come up before the Earthmate and that changes the device name of the Earthmate. But it looks like it may be possible to figure it out somehow. Maybe by grepping dmesg? Hope this is useful.

Dell dimension 4600 sound drivers download. Maybe by > grepping dmesg? Sounds very familiar:) Except for me it was my Tactrix Openport cable that came up as a GPS (its a cable for Subaru Engine Management, not anything like a GPS), and my touchscreen, touchpad and mousestick all got mixed up. Also, GPSDrive hangs if I dont have X using my mousestick:-/ It probably think it is a GPS. Some udev rules cured it all.

The best doc I found on udev: I attached my local udev rules for some more examples, as you may bump into linking to the wrong 'SUBSYSTEMS' as 'event' or 'input'. This is not mentioned i the above article.

[snip!] Cool! An excuse to upgrade! (I don't have udev.) Thanks!
